BUILDING LIFTED Up
And Dropped Back q Mass Of
Rtiins.


ST. Louis, N0v. IA fash, followed by
q dull roar and then the crash OF walls,
convulsed the center of this city at 2;O}
this morning, and the clamoc that fol.
lowed carried the rumor Of the horrible
calamity that had bcfallen three families
while wrapped in slumber. An explo-

hal lftcd the two story building
from its foundation and dropped it
back in mass, beneath which were buried
seventeen persons. The messenger of
death had scarcely wrecked the place be-
fore devastating fire swept through the
ruins and seemed bent on informal work.
Human aid was quickly on the scene but
in such confusion that the horror seemed
to increase with their efforts to relieve the
imprisoned victims. The sheet OF hame
that had swoopCd down upon the ruins
batiled tho efforts Of the trcmeu, who had
begurthe iret systematic work, and for
few minutes bid fair to spread into ad jon-
ing property. But good work won, and
then began the search for the dead. The
Newman Block, crushed in, was covered
by the roof, which had settled down upon
the ruins and formed a barrier through
which the rcsCuers had 10 cut away beams
and walls, impeded progress, and threaten
ing walls on either side overhung, ready
to crush the gallant men who pressed to
the spot whore calls for help directed them.
The roof was soon removed, and in the de-
blis were revealed the maugled forms OF
the grocery mans family. Two ladies,
Ncwman's daughters, were first removed.
Mamie, nineteen years OF age, was still
alive, but mangied from the timncrs and
charred by fire, was beyond the hope OF
recovery. Her sister Nellie, girl oi
fifteen years, mOancd piteously for hel

The INDIANS,
Continued Progress on Their Part Toward
Civilization.


WAsHINGToN, Oct 3l.--COmmissioner Of
Indian Affairs Atkins, in his annual report,
notes substantial evidence Of continued
progress on the part of the Indians toward
civilization. The progress shows itself all
along the line, in increased knowledge
and experience in agriculture, in enlarg-
ing facilities for stock growing, in better
buildings and better home appointments,
and in the adoption Of the dress and Gus
toms of the whites, Higher evidence cf
progress, he says, is given in the largely
increased attendance Of pupils at school
which has been greater during the pas,
year than during any preceding year, and
in the still more gratifying fact admitted
by all intelligent and close Observers Of
Indians, that the parents desire That thelI
children shall avail then.se Yes OF the gen
erous opportunities for education afforded
by the Government, and by kind hearted
Christian missionaries who unsclilshly tie
vote time, labor and money to the educa
| ton OF Indian youth.
